Francesca, a seventeen-year-old Roman, is finally sure she has found love. Almost sure. She spends the day observing other lovers' behaviors and considering whether she is ready to jump. Her age notwithstanding, this movie is more about coming of age than about improper or illegal romantic relationships.

VIBE

A tender, introspective look at young love and the anxieties of growing up. It feels like a sun-drenched afternoon spent daydreaming, filled with wistful glances and the quiet hum of burgeoning romance.
